Replacement Bride for the Alpha of the North - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: LITTLE LIGHT
Dawn was right, behind Zenith’s coldness, he was actually a pervert! How could he say something like that!? What he was trying to insinuate?!

However, Dawn even more upset with herself because she could feel herself blush. What a traitor body she had!?

She shouldn’t have reacted this way! She should be angrier than this because Zenith was clearly trying to tease her!

Yet, her line of thought was cut short when Zenith tapped the tip of her nose.

“Don’t let your mind go astray. I didn’t try to insinuate anything.”

“Did you hear my thought?” Dawn was startled, she was sure he couldn’t hear her mind.

“No, but your expression gave it away.” Zenith smiled. “And you admitted it just now.”

“I hate you!”

“Okay.” Zenith caressed her hair, tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Can we go back now? This area is not safe.”

Dawn was upset. She didn’t want to go with him, but at the same time, she also wanted to go with him, since she had nowhere else to go. Moreover, knowing she was currently pregnant, she was so glad that Zenith managed to catch up to her before she entered the west area of the kingdom.

She was still angry, even though what Zenith had done was something that he didn’t do in this lifetime. This feeling was confusing.

Dawn knew that it was not fair to be angry with him right now, because he did nothing wrong in this lifetime, but she remembered the pain that he put her through and couldn’t help, but became upset again.

“I don’t want to ride on your beast form,” Dawn said, she knew that she was being a brat, but she didn’t want to make it easy for him, especially with the way he said it.

It sounded naughty…

“I want you to carry me on your back.” Dawn expected Zenith would refuse, no matter how strong your human form was, you couldn’t beat the strength of your beast side and for her to ask Zenith to carry her on his back in his human form, it would take a great amount of strength and their journey back to the nearest village or city would take at least a day.

However, Zenith didn’t refuse that. He immediately knelt down in front of her. “Hop on.”

“Are you serious?”

“What? Do you want to carry me instead?”

Dawn bit her tongue to prevent herself from smiling. She needed to be angry with him. “I will walk,” she said curtly.

But, Zenith grabbed her hand and pulled her body until she fell on her back and immediately stood up, while supporting her thighs.

Out of instinct, Dawn wrapped her arms around her neck, so she wouldn’t fall. “Zen!”

“Get some rest, you have walked so far.” Zenith nuzzled her cheek that pressed against his. He liked her scent and from the corner of his eyes, he could see the little light that floated in the air. His baby…

He inherited this ability from his mother, but because of the medication and treatment he took for years to prevent his beast from running rampant, he couldn’t see the spirit, yet somehow, he could see his own child.

He knew he could, because it happened in his first life too.

There was this smile on the corner of his lips. He was going to make it worked this time. This was the second chance that he needed.

“Don’t you feel tired?” Dawn finally asked after they in the forest for more than three hours. They didn’t say anything and somehow, she enjoyed this silent walk. Well, Zenith was the one, who walked.

“Are you worried about me?”

“Absolutely not.” Dawn scowled. “I am thirsty.”

“There is a river in front of us, hold on for a while.”

Dawn thought he would give up after an hour or two, but even after three hours of carrying her behind his back, he didn’t break a sweat at all.

“Am I not heavy?” Dawn remembered Blake could only carry her on his back for less than half an hour.

“You are as light as a feather.”

“Liar.”

Dawn buried her face on his shoulder to hide her smile. It was obviously exaggeration on his part to say she was as light as a feather, but somehow, it made her felt good.

With that, Dawn reminded herself to still be angry with him.

She heard the sound of the stream and not long after, they found the river that Zenith had mentioned before. He put her down on the riverbank.

This place was so nice. It was beautiful and peaceful. Dawn didn’t mind to be around this area a little bit longer.

She squatted down and drank the water. The water was so refreshing it moistened her dry throat. She also cleaned up a bit, somehow, she suddenly became self aware with her state, she was dirty and probably… smelly.

“The nearby village is four hours away from here, we will be there before dark.” Zenith stood up and approached Dawn, he kissed her head. “I will be away for a while to get some fruit for you. Don’t wander around. Sometime, monsters could be found in this forest.”

Earlier, Dawn chose different route, she didn’t go through the forest, thus she didn’t know about it, more so, she was not really familiar with this area, she chose the route based on her vague memory. Thankfully, Zenith could find her.

“I am serious, Dawn. Don’t wander around,” Zenith emphasized it when Dawn didn’t answer him. He could take it if she was sulking with him all day, but he wouldn’t take it lightly if she put herself in danger.

“Okay.” He was nagging now…

“Be good.” Zenith leaned over again to kiss her cheek before he left.

While the two of them were having their own time, Darius was about to cry because now Zenith had gone missing too. The poor gamma mobilized all the warriors.
